The title "Muddy Water" serves as a metaphor for the or "clouded" perspectives of critics and older generations who look down on the new wave of music and expression.
Shifting away from their signature "noise music" or EDM-heavy sound, this track leans into 90s-style boom bap and lo-fi jazz .
It features a prominent upright bass line, crisp snare hits, and a relaxed piano melody that creates a sophisticated "underground lounge" atmosphere.
The lyrics are a direct response to those who try to box them in. They emphasize:
The bright, almost playful tone of the song contrasts with the "dirty" imagery of mud, suggesting they can find rhythm and success even in messy situations.
